All right.

My secret weapon.

No weapon form against thee...

shall prosper.

How you doin', my brother?

You always come through

for a brother. Hey!

God bless you!

- Oh, brother!

- Thank you.

You're shinin'.

You're shinin' like the light.

Look, I got about four or five

other engagements I need to get to.

So if we can kind of put a little pep

in the step, get this thing movin'.

Not a problem.

Smelters?

God bless you, basketball babies.

How you doin'?

I'm Preacher Don.

And Coach Roy asked me to come down here

and speak with you.

So if I- if I may, I would like

to say a prayer with you and Coach Roy...

if that's all right.

Let's bow our heads, please.

God is good.

God is great.

Thank you for this game

we're about to receive...

'cause we about

to get up in them.

Thank you for the food that we about to-

No, that's the wrong prayer.

God, we ask that

you give us the strength...

that everything will go our way

out there on the court.

And if that cannot happen, God...

we ask that you injure

some key players on the other team...

not so that they get

seriously injured...

but that they're slowed up...

so that the Smelters

will win this game.

Amen! Amen.

Because we know you- God-

loves a winner.

Can I get an "amen"?

Amen.

I'm gonna need that cash

real quick.

Oh, no problem.

Back off!

In her rookie debut,

Margaret "Big Mac" Green...

won the Smelters'

first tip-off since-

- When's the last time we won a tip? Quick.

- Um- '89.

Two years before

we were born.

- Wait. Uh-

- Where do we write our points?

I don't know.

We've never had to before.

Technical foul,

Mount Vernon!

- What's wrong with you?

- It's a technical foul. Delay of game.

I'm not talkin' to you.

I'm talkin' to them.

Look, you can't have a parade

every time you score.

Now, get back out there

and get your heads in the game.

Let's go!

Big Mac,

you really tryin' my patience.

Substitution.

Substitution, ref.

I'm bringin' in Sledgehammer.

Sledge?

You're all right.

Ref, let's get an I.D. check here.

This kid looks old enough to drink.

Look, I'm whisperin', okay?

I need you to nod your head...

and act like

I'm sayin' somethin' important.

I need you to go out here,

be cool...

and try not to trip.

Can you do that?

- I-I think so, Coach.

- Thank you, son.

Come on.

Diamond and one. Diamond and one.

Let's go.

- Set it up.

- Okay, double-team the kid.

Double-team the Sledgehammer.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Sledge? Hey?

Give me-

Give me some shake and bake, baby.

A double shake and bake.

You know? With a little bit of this, that.

Double it up.

You know what I'm sayin'? All right?

- Bang with 'em.

- What's that?

Hey, hold your ground, okay? Show 'em

what it's like to be with the big boy.

- Bang with 'em.

- You feel me?

- Huh?

- Stand strong, Wes! Stand strong!

Sledgehammer, huh? Take it

to the iron, boys! They're soft inside!

Wes?

Out.

Hey, you did good, son,

all right?

You hung in there a lot longer

than I thought you would.

Have a seat.

Ralph.

You're in.

Thanks.

Come on! Let's go!

Congratulations.

You only lost by 45.

That's why you're doin'

45 suicides.

Now, let's go. What?

What are you doin' here?

- What?

- Coach, what happens if we win?

Fuzzy, if you win-

if you win-

I'll do a suicide

for every point you win by, okay?

Now, dig it out!

Get back to work.

See the way you're runnin'?

That's why you're losin'.

You may wanna embarrass you,

but you're not gonna embarrass me!

I pulled out

every trick in the book today.

These aren't college kids, Roy.

They're 13.

I mean, you were 13 once, right?

Only one thing motivates

a 13-year-old boy...

and it ain't Smelter pride.

I just said

something smart.

I'm gonna write that down.

Ladies, free pizza here.

Come by the gym, get a slice.

All you want. All you want.

All right?

Cheese, yeah.

Cheese. Excuse me.

- Is he serious?

- Come on!

My mouth's waterin' already.

I can't wait to get to this pizza, y'all.

- Hey, did you get the Cinnabon?

- Whoa.

'Cause they supposed to give us a free

Cinnabon that goes with these pizzas.

Yeah!

Pizza!

Guys, layup lines.

- But-

- Layup lines. Come on.

- All right.

- Is there always gonna be pizza here?

There will be from now on.

- You're home ec, right?

- Yeah.

- How's your pizzas?

- Delicious-y for shizzy.

All right. Okay, good,

'cause that's your new job.

- You straight?

- Yes.

- Oh. I will not let you down.

- All right.

- Okay.

- All right.

There's chicken parm in the crust, ladies,

so put your feed bags on.

Hey, green team out.

Green team out.

- So who are we playin'?

- Me.

You the ball handler, huh? Yeah, that's right.

I see you. You kinda tight with that rock.

You like to go to the basket.

Ain't no "I" in team, huh?

It's about you.

Do your thing, man.

Check it.

- Ooh! Did I anger you?

- Just give me the ball.

Oh! What's the Shaq do? What's

that move he do when he block people?

No, Mutombo.

He do like this.

"I don't think that you should bring it in there.

You should get it

to one of your teammates. "

Let's see what you got, man. You gotta

use your teammates sometime, man.

Huh? Uh-oh.

Look, he's mad now.

Ooh! See, when I get blocked,

I start looking for my teammates.

You know what I mean?

'Cause they can help me out.

You know? Wow!

But if I get the ball to them late,

watch what happens.

I didn't wanna do it.

I'm hungry.

What's wrong with you?

Pass the ball!

Dude, come on. Just pass it.

We'll give it right back.

Come on. Let's go.

Wait a minute. Comin' at ya.

Comin' at-

Comin' at ya. Look.

All right.

- All right.

You passed the ball, man.

How does that feel...

for the ball to go

from your hand to another hand?

Again. Try it again. Let me show you

how you do the one thing.

Uh-huh. Right there.

Right there. Comin' at ya.

Comin' at ya.

Huh? All right.

All right, all right.

All right. All right.

All right.

All right. I'm gonna admit,

I'm a little tired.

The point I'm tryin' to prove is that

teamwork beats out talent any day.

Now, one on one,

neither one of y'all could beat me.

You know, that's just real.

But all five of y'all together...

if y'all play as a team,

you might could do something with me.

And I'm gonna keep it real with you like that.

But anyway, I-

I gotta-

I gotta go throw up.

Green team, you're in!

Let's go, guys.

One Love,

hedge that ball screen.

Right there. There you go.

Right there. A'ight?

- Go to Mac. Mac.

- Here.

All right.

Who can tell me, again...

the highly complex way

of beating the pick-and-roll?

Somebody?

Talking?

Talking.

Exactly. Talking.

Guys, you gotta communicate out there.

You're a team.

All right?

Communication is the key.

It's like a-a healthy

relationship at home.

You know?

You ever flirt around with your lady?

You know, your lady say-

You, like, "Come on. Come on. "

Your lady is, like...

"No, no, not right now.

Remember?

You said that you wanted
